  • I use to go to that casino when I was young all the time...I went a few weeks ago in the middle of the night out of the blue. I didn't play long as I looked around and saw all of the staff, nice carpet, everything fancy - who is paying for that? Glad I got that out of my system when I was young.

  • I watch this video when I feel and urge to gamble, and it stops me :) thank you

  • omfg the suicide thing is so shocking :O

  • Interesting that so many people who are defending gambling as being "non-addictive" and "I can handle it. It is just the other guy with the problem" are compelled to watch this video entitled "Gambling Addiction". Why would you seek out a gambling addiction video to watch if you don't think the possiblity of you having a problem might exist. Gambling addiction is more than just a loss of money, it is also a loss of your life, as you spend hours and hours at the table or machine.

  • TIME TO PLAY SOME BACCARRAT TONIGHT!!

  • WIN A $25 KINDLE GIFTCARD. Like "The Fiction of J. Richard Singleton" on Facebook for further details. What?

  • Legalized gambling as in casinos and lotteries is the worst sort of parasitism and regressive taxation. People are seduced into casinos w/ the idea that they leave as much of their cash behind as possible. ATM machines within the casinos not only facilitate the process, they're also a kind of an automated loan shark w/ ridiculously high fees. The only game I play in a casino is poker as I'm basically paying rent by the hour to test my skills against other players.

  • Gambling shouldn't be illegal no more that alcohol or cigarettes or drugs. Its none of your business or the governments business what your neighbor spends his money or time on. If you want to destroy your life on stupidity that's your business. Get government out of people lives and in the end more happiness because people wont be control and told what they can and cant do. Millions of lives are destroyed every year by alcohol yet that's legal. Mind your own business.

  • gambling isn't a game. it's made to create victims, slaves. and gambling is more dangerous then any drug on this planet. why create victim when it's time to eliminate the source that create evil. casino should be illegal and vice versa marijuana should be legal. what is president obama doing about the scamming business of casino?

  • 'About 5% of gamblers risk something which will change their lives if lost' what exactly do you mean by change their lives? what exactly is meant by 'something'?

    What defines addicted? you jump straight into the topic as if we all knew about it already the structure of the show is all over the place!

  • Between 4 and 8% of the youth become addicted to gambling, Which is it, if you had done any research you would have a more accurate figure.

    And do you mean by youth?? The kid in the picture?? because a child that age could not understand the laws of poker.

  • 44 people are gambling addicts

  • I like the beginning, but after that... not so much

  • each compulsive gambler costs the economy money? wtf if they lose their money in the casino then that is going straight to the government? Our goverments own the casinos i don't know how that is in the usa?

  • PLEASE REMEMBER AT ALL TIMES....You are buying fun when you gamble.What this video fails to say is that MOST people can gamble and can control the amount they spend.

    FOR EXAMPLE..The Bingo hall I go to has a "Bingo link up" where you can buy a ticket for £1.50 called a "High 5" on average there are around 25,000 tickets in live play at the start of the game. ONLY 3 TICKETS WIN A PRIZE "A line" "Two lines" and a "Full house" therefore 24,997 tickets out of 25,000 will NOT WIN ANYTHING!!!!!

  • We watched this in P.S.E class :) hehe well done :)

  • yo adrian

    

  • lol I live in vegas and I know atleast one person with a gambling addiction.I could her her ass wailing in her room every night, complaining about money and bills because she lost all her money, lmfao. (Roommate)

  • Go to getrichfast.ucoz.com

  • Hello #UN# how are you? How are you today?

  • also, poker is a math based game so if you dont know math you will suck at poker. its wellknown that many who gambles dont even know simple math and think they can beat a casino playing by its rules, while poker is played against another person so you can exploit these peoples weaknesses.in poker you can make bets that gives you your money back 10 times or much more while having allmost 100% chance of winning the hand, try that in roulette or blackjack

  • the reason why many lose money at poker is that only a few percent are good enough to make a living from it and they take all the money from the rest of the players. if it was all luck and 50-50 it would not be 5 % winning everybody elses money, it means you can be good at it and really bad at it. also the other reason people lose is lack of money management wich is crucial in poker. if you want to play a game that costs 1000 then you should have atleast 30 000 as a bankroll

  • people say poker is the game of skill but i can't but disagree, that's just plain stupid. if you want to win and "HAVE" the brains for it, roulette is the easiest game to win

  • if anyone want s to play and get money if your lucky

  • As a slimy, deadbeat, degenerate, compulsive gambler of 19 years, I can tell you with 100% certainty that there is nothing that can be done to fix what people like me have. If all landbased casinos were outlawed, underground clubs would quadrouple in number and people would still be able to get their fix by driving probably less distance to their new local underground club. Good luck prosecuting the online sites, that will always be an outlet for me to dump the mortage payments.

  • Good example for gambling addiction video.. lol

  • I have won chess tournaments, and i have won poker tournaments. There is never a rush of adrenaline when you win a chess tournament. At the end of a chess tournament your head hurts, you look like you just got beat up, and you feel like you've been awake for days. It is exhausting. Poker tournaments are just games of chance. In order to eliminate your opponent in a poker tournament you need to win a coin toss most of the time. There is no effort in that. Chess and Poker are nothing alike.

  • you ned to get over it gambling is not that bad you just have to be smart with your money

  • I remember when I was young I went on a slot machine. Takes in one coin types, the ones of small value. What happened was I put in a few, then I won something. Then I kept on putting some in again - but lost. Small money in total, but really left you with less money...AND wanting to come back to "claim" that money! That's where the trap is.

  • my bro lost so much to online poker, its so addictive. play with fake money

  • Gambling isn't entertainment!! Get that in your head!!!!!

  • GAURANGA!!!!

  • look i have relised that life is bullshit no matter what i do is wrong, like for instance i back horses and say if i wrote down on the docket a horse but then decide to change it for another the horse that i put down first wins, dis happens to me all the time and if i decided not to change it the horse i was going to change it too wins, over and over like a bloken record, 9 out of ten photo finishes i will be on the losing side, like what the fuck is going on, i feel kike god is having a laugh

  • Lol how you doing.. middle schooler?

  • newsnetscotland sport for golf and horseracing. news and tips.

  • I hope all people who choose to gamble or have a problem with it will stop. In my opinion we should be grateful for what we have, what are you truly giving into greed? And how many of us lose more than what we win if we add it all up? Is it worth it? And furthermore gambling originated when Jesus Christ Our Lord was crucified and they cast lots over his clothes, is this what you want for your life, choose Jesus Christ Almighty, the one true and living god who loves us all. God Bless.

  • I just love the music

  • I use the system at AabedinDotCom/gamblingwizard it's very effective (you have to replace the word 'Dot' with a real dot, it's written like that because this thing won't let me type in the actual address!)

  • Video is US based but the message is still true for most other countries. Gambling is a huge problem and it affects lots of other people apart from just the addict. When you take family and friends into account it is huge! found help at freeyourself . com. au

  • Poker is a game of skill. Stop basing this off poker. Makes no sense. Just because people crash with bikes doesn't mean bikes are bad.

    Online Poker is just like chess. You pay a fee to play and the best players leave with the money most of the time.

    Poker is skill. Slot machines are garbage.

  • @Cruzharo . You must not know much about chess. Poker and chess have nothing in common whatsoever. Chess is the ultimate game of skill with no luck involved at all. Poker requires a massive amount of luck. That's why you don't see the same people winning every year. Always some new guy that wasn't there last year wins. In chess the best player ALWAYS wins 100 percent of the time. See the games of Gary Kasparov. Poker players are using about 30 percent skill, but need 70 percent luck.

  • moderation is ok

  • Comment removed

  • lol @ this video. What a joke.

  • Poker is probably the worst game you could of picked for a gambling addiction video. Poker is a game of skill douche bag.

  • @GradeyHimself Anyone who thinks poker is a game of skill must be down a lot of money right now. I've never met a smoker who wasn't trying to quit, or a poker player who was bad at poker. The world of poker is just like playing the lottery. Go ahead and think you won because you were so good, but remember the next year when you go out in the 1rst round it was just a bad beat, don't let anyone convince you you're not the best. keep donating that cash to the lucky few!

  • @BlizzGMX A good player with proper discipline and correct plays may lose a lot of hands but in the long run he will be a profitable player. Poker is a game of patience and correct mathematical decisions. The players you know are bad at poker because almost all beginners think they can beat the game but they are unable to understand the game.

  • @geniusjas87 I agree you can make a profit playing poker. I just won't agree with anyone who compares poker to chess. There are times in a poker tournament when you know you have the better odds on your side, but that doesn't always guarantee a winning hand. People Suck out all of the time. A complete beginner with no idea about how to play can run lucky and win money playing poker. That could NEVER happen in a chess tournament. lol I understand your argument about poker involving some skill.

  • @BlizzGMX Oh yes definately you can't compare poker to chess. Chess is completely a skill game. You can't be a beginner and hope to beat players like Bobby Fischer. That's almost impossible. But in poker you can win a couple of pots from Phil Ivey even if he makes the right decisions. But in the long run you would definately lose a lot of money to him. Just like chess, you take advantage of your opponents mistakes in poker. Unlike any other form of gambling, poker requires a lot of skill

  • @GradeyHimself video lottery machines, thats where the real addiction is for most gamblers. pokers the shizznit

  • @GradeyHimself if you don't think its gambling your stupid. Yes good players have an advantage, but there are tons of losing players that can't stop reloading. Even a good player with a gambling problem can play too high and get cracked very easily.

  • @uguysarefried thats the kind of ppl sharks r looking for

  • @GradeyHimself yes, but tards that dont know how to play loose big then blame it on "gambling"

  • Gambling is the greatest,fairest,thing you will find in this lifetime.It doesn't care anything about you except for one thing:Are you correct often enough to win?

  • @rentslave You say it. Roulette it's like flick a coin, you win give me $1.00, I win I give you 99 cents. The 0 makes it that percentage, so you over time lose. For some people it is addictive. Things aren't predictable. And what should be the greatest thing in this lifetime is to love and learn and do good and not expect anything back. Predicting football or soccer results is largely a waste of time.

  • The addicts are not the majority. Sure they are out there and its awful. I'm a dealer and I really do not enjoy dealing to them because I know that they are likely to loose and they are gambling their money to survive and not for fun like most others. But don;t forget that casinos are licensed by the state they are in, and therefore heavily taxed by that state, providing income for the state's budget. Gambling itself is not the evil, it's people with no control.

  • @breiningac Ha Ha I've seen them in uk betting shops with roulette machines,hollow eyed frightened rabbits believe me they are in a majority.

  • But how to prove to somebody that he or she is addicted? I have a friend who believes that he can predict the future, and he is different from the other 1000000000000000 people who play the casino (roulette) because he has super powers. He says that this is his "money factory"and he always wins. We had an appointment for today but he decided not to come because he may "lose the flow of producing money at casino". WTF !?!?!?!!

  • Good video, inaccurate statistics. Gambling doubles the bankruptcy cases in America? Really??? The only place you could get that kind of a statistic would be a cooked one.

    Gambling is not the problem, people making poor decisions and everyone expecting the government to come in and save everyone is the real problem.

    This country needs to become free again, free to work hard and make your way, and free to make mistakes and pay for them.

  • 1 second ago i went into town the other day with £40 went into ladbrokes went on roullete and walked out with £140 and then went into william hill and won another £140 so i went home with £280 ....brilliant buzz ....but the worst felling when you lose ...my advice wud be go into the bookies with a little amount of money that you can afford if you lose DONT go back in ..if you win its a bonus !!!!

  • Someone once said to me 'gambling is a rich mans game that every poor man likes' it's soo true, never gamble what you cannot afford. But its easier said than done. Its soo fun yet so dangerous.

  • Gambling causes cancer ?? You can get cancer of everything these days , yeez !!! Maybe i shouldn't stop smoking ... it's no use ...  cancer will get me anyway

  • @Borat911 okay

    the dude who made this video stated this wrong

    its not about gambling causing the cancer, its about the bad habits gamblers have, its a general attitude they seem to have...

    plus the anxiety and the psychological pressure they suffer 'helps' on that...unfortunately

  • @Borat911 he means for every 1 cancer patient, there are 2 addicts.

    5 cancer patients, 10 addicts, hmm?

  • @onlinegamer1 Yeah, that's probably what he meant ... but i was just joking on the way that he phrased it ... with different interpretation possible .

  • @Borat911 kk, makes sense xD

  • Gambling is ruining our family. When I was younger our government opposed this filthy addiction. Now they bend over backward for the sleezy industry. Politicians that support gambling should be jailed for promoting such a wreckless habit.

  • requiem for a dream

  • lottery and any of games (if play with money) or make a bet is gambling, having a minimum survivable salary from job took long time to recover what you lost from gambling, let say 1 month you earn $1.5k your house bill cost $300 per month(electric,telephone,water bill) F&B $600 per month the rest saving and petrol is about $600. if you gamble it, this may exceed $600 to ruin your life.

  • I agree with the video as far as gambling is concerned. However, poker isn't gambling, and it's sad that people with all the info available in this day and age still think it is.

  • Poker isn't gambling. Wow, congratulations on the stupidest comment in the history of youtube. I can't tell if you're a troll. I assume you must be. If your intelligence is so low that you don't understand that poker is gambling, you couldn't possibly be smart enough to use a computer. My god you are a sad, low functioning embarrassment. Sheesh

  • I'm a professional pokerplayer so I think I know what I'm talking about. Either way you're entitled to your opinion ofcourse, however stupid it is...

  • lol a professional poker player! And some people just wanna cure cancer. Please explain how betting is not gambling...goofy lying twit.

  • so is strip poker gambling?

  • ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED.

    The owners and promoters should go to jail.Stop playing until its cleared from scum.

  • gambling addicks are Morons who deserv to loose thier moneys

  • At least we morons can spell LOSE.

  • i will have you're money to

    you will be my slave

  • @mongeonkevin We can also spell your.I fear for this country's future if your illiteracy is this pronounced.

  • Stfu you illiterate moron.

  • As the casino people would say.... It's nothing personal, it's just business. Money world, money talks. Anything that can make money with the risk of huge consequences.... no problem, people will do it

  • Ok, hold'em is a skill game, however it's still gambling period. Good vid.

  • How does gambling cause cancer?

  • haha i think you got it wrong.. gambling dosent cause cancer he jusr said that there are more pple addicted to gambling than cancer cases in the US

  • What a load of shit.

    Obviously some fag who sucks at gambling.

    Poker is not gambling, poker is a skill game you fucking retard.

    People who are irresponsible in general deserve to go bankrupt, gambling responsible is fine.

  • POKER IS NOT GAMBLING YOU LOSER!

  • pokies are evil things If only a gambler knew the address of someone who supports pokie machienes..... who will have the last laugh then.....

  • pssshhhhhh gambling pays my bills muther fuka

  • @bradleywerner

    ya i used to think gambling was awesome.... my entire house furniture is paid for by casino winnings.... then i realized the truth... i added up my gambling losses, and im averaging $3300 losses every 23 days... thats pathetic... thats over 2 house payments in less than a month that i have blown at the casnio.. yea i started out just taking 100 dollars into the casino, but soon you lose the buzz of winning just 10 dollars at a time...

  • im sorry things didnt work out for you.

  • @bradleywerner

    i wish everyone would stop going to casinos... i promise you i used to always win, then you start gambling more money, and you start losing lots more than you win...

  • don't believe you

  • Pretty good video, but I doubt 35 million teenagers are gambling addicts. That'd be an enormous percentage. Perhaps you meant 3.5 million.

  • i agree with the definitions below and i'd like to add that, despite what people say to justify it, investing in the stock market is a form of a gambling. just a more socially acceptable form of gambling that is more legitimate because it's favoured by the social elite.

  • Check out Jimmy Montana's adventures - his motto is "don't pay for it, play for it"

  • poker is not an art. it is gambling. it is a game of numbers and percentages along with insticts that come with experience. you WILL make money in the long run if you have a plan and are disciplined. it is game that brings out your impulsive side. and it can over take your life. i am a pro.

  • poker is an art, anyway i dont live in america so ill be fine

  • Im sorry

  • I give it a D-

  • poker is gambling to those who are not skilled in the game...in fact, it is not gambling at all it's an art and can produce a plus expected value of money in the long-term for those who are SKILLED...it's the truth...most people are not skilled enough to win thus they write it off as gambling bc they are NOT GOOD ENOUGH...example, stock market is the same as poker...profitable decisions in the LONG-TERM WILL SHOW PROFITS

  • Poker is def not an art! haha People only play it because of money! Poker is the worst form of gambling because it has you thinking you have control but you don't! I can can call an all in with aces and still get beat! It's still a gamble!

  • then why do i play it for a living? bc its a game of skill...you just cant comprehend it thus its gambling to you...thanks

  • poker players are risk takers. Great players take a small edge and play it out thousands of times. Just like a casino.

    In poker it is man to man. A zero sum game. There will be winners are losers. Sounds like a capitalist game to me.

    If yout hate poker, be a communist.

  • Love it, but I cant bluff so I play craps. Which is sorta capitalist but you don't have the edge so in a way its more capitalist because your a small business vs big corporations ie the Casino. If you win its more glorious.

  • @spankykirky everyone talks about the long term...the long term....the long term. GUESS WHAT BUDDY, you live the short term. you live in the present. Habbits and addiction can develop well before the LONG TERM can show profits. GET A CLUE...if you are a winning player i woiuld LOVE to see you in 5-10 years.

  • Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period. (POKER FALLS UNDER THIS DEFINITION).

  • uncertain outcome...is most def gambling...a certain outcome would be considered a long-term profit to me...thus it is not gambling...thanks guys

  • Good video. It's only bad if you don't wanna hear the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I make thousands playing poker.

    Gambling is just a re assortment of money to people who are smarter

    Survival of the fittest.

    If you dont like it. Be a communist.

  • I hope you failed. That was awful. Putting some websites at the end doesn't make it okay to just spew out random facts without proper cites. You obviously play poker and made a shit video for a shit class.

  • I have personally lost over 200K in gambling and now know that it is an issue of making decissions based on emotion and not sound long term planning. Instant pleasure and false hope was my motivation. It has been heart ache, shame, loss, and big time stress. I have had many jobs in my time, before and during my time as a gambler, just as much of a problem and caused by the same bad decission making. You could burn all the casinos down but it would not have fixed the problem.

  • Or

    somebody one 200k

  • Thats a sad story.

    You should Join the Patriot Movement.

  • ur gay...poker is jus simply a great game

  • abundantlivingfirst, com helped me to make real money again! no more loosing things.

  • Everything on the internet is undoubtably true. Im deleting my stars account as we speak.

  • I dont have a gambling problem I just find it hard to back a winner lol , But I got a special racing soon it wont lose can sumone lend me fifty. lol

  • Impulse control disorder to some level is what causes many people to gamble.Gamblers must be aware that Impulse control disorder can be iliminated through time by making more descisions based on longterm outcome and rarely on emotion(impulse) or goodluck(false certainty) which should never be a reason to do something.

  • fuck off u piece of shit

  • Comment removed

  • doesnt matter if they ban gambling and shut down every casino in the world and every online gambling site. as long as there is a currency in the world there will be gambling...

  • I'm 20 years old right now, and I used to be addicted to gambling from about 16 to 19...I've been completely clean for a year, but man it affected my grades, girlfriends broke up with me cause I cared more about poker, gin rummy and backgammon than I did them, my parents finally stepped in and set me pretty straight by just showing me what could happen and I quit on my own, it was the best decision I ever made, now I play music and have something to show for it...

  • @Marvin24241 sh^t tell me about it I live in Vegas

  • im\ am 19 and have been playing online for a couple years now. i love poker. but ive gotten really good at not getting emotional. its just a game, relax. people who get carried away with gambling have serious emotion issues as well.

  • Hey check out givemedollars*blogspot*com to find over 1117$ REAL dollars to gamble away at the best rooms - just check it out - and dont forget to replace the * with .!

  • ive gambeld for 15yrs and have nothing 2 show for it apart from debts and ex girlfriends and depresion. i wish and hope i fix myself whilst iam young. it all starts when u play the slots when ur a kid and it builds up from then on just like a drug addict would try soft drugs first then move on to the harder stuff

  • yeah,being in the position of winning,friends surrounding you while they chant your name,the scams the risks you take to get money to continue on...Its a REAL "high",..the rush when your on a streak,especially when you go back to your room and have some chick sucking on your pole...thank god for legalised gambling:)

  • I'm a gambling addict and I'm only 19. It's extremely hard to quit, gambling is absolutely everywhere.

    Every corner store

    Every sports event

    TV ads

    Haven't gambled in a week, i take a shot of whiskey whenever I get an urge, because i won't drive with a drink in me to go gamble.

    It's fucked up

  • wow, nice video

    i feel dirty now bcoz i gamble quite a bit ... lol

    but i think banning gambling wouldn't be practical ... it would be like prohibition, did that work?

    You americans are smart, in australia the minimum gambling age is 18, which includes alcohol + cigarette age limits.

    When i was 18 i was still in high school lol ... the perfect age for the government to target us i guess.

  • Casinos are badass i can't wait 2 go 2 one

  • Same thing I thought. But from age 21 to 23 i lost about $3,000 and now hate casinos...

  • The American Dream 2.0

    Poker has made people rich but the majority of players will lose, even if it's not a huge sum. For some it will be. Gambling doesn't help society in any way, the casino's and websites are the only winners in the long run.

  • thats bullshit the problem is that u don't know play poker.

  • This is bullshit. I made over 12k playing poker online (CASH - No big tourney) and payed about 5.5k on rake. I played almost 1 million hands, so we can exclude the luckfactor. Sure, the money is gotta come from someone so i guess there are people losing bigtime, but then you should quit anyway...

    But this video is so far from reality.

  • i wish all the casinos in the world were blown up and gambling was illegal.

  • I wish u stop saying stupid things.

  • "I wish u stop saying stupid things." Check your GRAMMAR buddy

  • your all stupid if you think skill will win you money in poker. ESPECIALLY online poker (Turbo(Fast sit n go's)) Poker is 30% skill 70% luck. Most GOOD poker players now days go by what percent chance do they have of winning the hand. and percentages is gambling. and thats especially true for online poker and MORE so for turbo games. Turbo sit n go tourneys online is more like 10% skill 90% luck. and thats why ppl call Pokerstars: Riverstars and Jokerstars. No. your the joker for playing it.
